http://www.neuvationcycling.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has some ridiculously inexpensive wheels that are actually very good for training. Certainly they are good enough (or even too good) for a trainer. I have two pairs and they are solid as a rock.

Cheaper than a wheel. (and probably better quality than a "cheap" rear wheel)...

I have a turbo tyre but would prefer having a dedicated wheel to save changing a tyre everytime I either decided to go on the road or the turbo.

(I've been trying hard to break my R500s but in over 5 years they have held up amazingly well.)

Thats the set I was trying to fit my cassette to but my 10 speed cassette doesnt fit the hub, but after having had a look around I think ill go for a set of newer R501's so I can fit the cassette and they are only £90 a set.

+1 on the Fulcrum 7's. They are the standard wheels that come with Cervelo bikes and they tend to sell for very cheap because it's the first thing that Cervelo owners switch out. On the Cervelos however, they are labeled as Fulcrum Racing T - They are the same exact wheel.

Thanks

The R500's should work......must be something else wrong here. R500's will fit a 10 speed shimano cassette. Take it to your LBS and they will fit the cassette for you if you can't get it on there.

In Canada, we have to spend a stupid amount of time on the trainer. There is really no need to purchase a specific wheel for the trainer, but if you must, you can buy a cheap POS, OEM wheel on Kijiji, etc., locally. Generally, the vendor will be sone Tri-geek tossing the OEM wheels on his/her new superbike.

Is it really recommended to have a separate wheel set for a trainer? I was under the impression trainers do not cause much wear.... Looking to buy a trainer soon, though, so this would probably be a good thing to know.
